NMC urged 7th Pay Commission to recommend 20% Interim relief
Also demanded merger of 50 per cent DA
with the basic pay-pension and enhancement of retirement age of 62 years
in case of central government employees
National Mazdoor Conference today urged
the chairman of the newly-constituted 7th pay commission to recommend 20
per cent interim relief in favour of both central and state government
employees.
“We urge the chairman of the 7th pay
commission that it should recommend to the new Central government (after
the election) to accord the interim relief in favor of both central and
state government employees and pensioners to the tune of 20 per cent
interim relief in basic pay,” NMC president Subash Shastri said in a
memorandum sent to the chairman of 7th pay commission.
These recommendation should be made soon after lifting up Model Code of Conduct, he said.
He also demanded merger of 50 per cent
DA with the basic pay-pension and enhancement of retirement age of 62
years in case of central government employees.
Shastri emphasised that whenever the
recommendation of the commission are submitted to the Central
government, the Commission should extend these recommendations to the
state governments in general and Jammu and Kashmir in particular.
He batted strongly for commencement of
the negotiations with representatives of Associations, unions and
Federations of Central government employees and pensioners so that
report could be submitted within stipulated period.
“Since twenty months left to complete
pay commission report, it has been urged to the chairman and other
members of the 7th pay commission to pay visit to all states of the
country to obtain views of state governments employees and pensioners
organisations,” he said.
Shastri also urged the chairman to
formulate National Pay policy for both central and state government
employees and pensioners, adding that the 7th pay commission should be
declared as the National pay commission.
